Gentle Giant

The last in the set of layouts I made for my daughter in memory of her friend...she gave a speech at school on a day where evryone was asked to wear orange or red in his honour...kept the design pretty simple; thanks to Sue for the use of the 2 MS punches and Sizzix alpha dies.

Journaling(Elizabeth's speech)
When I think about Brady, I think about his hugs and his smile, and how he made every girl sit in the front of the car...even though his legs didn't fit in the back. He was always a gentleman and an incredible frined to anyone who crossed his path. Nobody could brighten your day like Brady, when he told the ladies how nice they looked that day, or told the boys to "look at his pipes" because he was "buff, bro". We lost an incredible person, friend, son, student and brother. He was a big brother to all of us and still is. He's looking out for us all every day, and every time you see a bright orange sunset, I hope you know it's him smiling down at you. Rest in peace, gentle giant.

what a touching tribute Lynne. It's so hard when a young life is cut short. You have created these pages with dignity and honor. Brady lives on in these lovely remembrances as well as in the hearts of all those who knew him.

Oh Lynne! This is so touching and beautiful! You've captured the whole sentiment perfectly with the orange, title and journaling. Love your punch work and the flower clusters in the corners. So sad, but what a wonderful tribute to Brady and memories for your dd!!
